Euro Championships 2016

[Pete]

Really looking forward to Spain v Italy.

Maybe a game for the purists with Italy sitting deep you never know.

[Pretty Boy]

De Gea is answering his critics in the best possible way here.

2 fantastic saves.

[Saturday Boy]

Italy have started well. I think many people were expecting them to just sit in.

They appear to be coping with the conditions better, perhaps it's all to do with the "Rain in Spain" :wink:

[Pretty Boy]

1-0 Italy

[MWHIBBIES]

Ramos is the worst center back on the field.

[Mr White]

1-0 Italy

Keeper could have done more?

[Pretty Boy]

Keeper could have done more?
Personally think the commentators are being a bit harsh. It's travelled at real pace and there wasn't much more he could do other than getting something behind it.

If it was me I'd be questioning why 3 Italians are queing up to finish it and only 1 defender has reacted.

[Jim44]

The way it's going, I can't see Italy losing this game.

[Pretty Boy]

Could have been 2. Another good save. Spain, Iniesta excepted, look woeful.

[renato]

We should be 2 or 3 up. Just hope it doesn't cost us.

Great performance so far.

[Time For Heroes]

Italy have been brilliant so far, so organised. I bet Chelsea fans are getting excited

You can see in the slow motion replays that he tries to get his hands on the ball to push it away from the middle of the box, but as you say, there was so much pace on it, and I'm sure it swerved a bit that it just comes off his arms wrong and back into play. Good work though by the Italians to be following up first as well. Harsh to blame him for the goal.

[cabbageandribs1875]

only saw the goal at HT wtf was pique doing at the freekick

[cabbageandribs1875]

poor header right in front of goals, cummings would have buried that

[Hibernia&Alba]

Big Dave De Gea must be the best keeper in the game right now.

[Pretty Boy]

WTF is the ref thinking there?

That's as clear a foul as I've ever seen.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Italy should have sewn this game up by now.

[Finn2015]

Spain starting get on top but Italy know how to defend a 1-0 lead. If they get through I fancy Italy go all the way

Iniesta unlucky there, good strike, either side it's a goal.

[SHODAN]

Classic Italy. Have to say I always enjoy when they do well.

[(((Fergus)))]

Big Dave De Gea must be the best keeper in the game right now.

Has always seemed a fragile (lack of) presence in goal. Would have Neuer and Buffon before him

Ooh I love this Italy side.

[Pretty Boy]

Buffon👏🏻

Very few ever accept that a player currently playing can be the best ever but Buffon is right up there in goalkeeping terms.

In terms of stature and having an almost revolutionary effect on the way the position is played only Peter Schmeichel and him stand out in my lifetime.

[brianmc]

End of an era for Spain... Italy deserved winners.

His nickname's "Superman" and it's well earned - he doesn't often churn out save after save (mostly because his defences are so well organised) but when there's a critical, high pressure, game changing moment for a forward, he so often delivers with a stop out of nowhere. The guy's a living legend and who'd bet against him fulfilling his wish and doing a Zoff by playing in the next WC...

BTW that was tactical master class again by Conte, out foxed Del Bosque and the celebrations when that 2nd went in were glorious. I feel a bit more at ease now that we've overcome Spain, another really difficult game against the Germans to come but we've got a brilliant record against them and they really won't fancy playing us after today.

Yep I lumped on at 17s and then 13s too to win outright. If this is us having our worst team in 50 years I'll take that team in every tournament please. So well drilled but so fluid in counter attack too. I could watch that style of football without ever getting bored. Such glorious revenge for the 4-0 four years ago too. Having taken Spain out I'd love to see Germany put to the sword on the way to the final. 1982, gloriously, all over again?

All England managers are always too safety first to make a call like that. I don't know if it is the type of manager they tend to appoint or the pressure in the job from the red tops but they are always far, far too cautious.

Wayne Rooney has been a great player, but once again England are frightened to leave a player out by playing him in a position he's not good enough to play, rather than someone who is.

Aye, it's great to watch and there's nothing more enjoyable than seeing two heavy weights slugging it out, especially when one team just out thinks and out plays the other. Xavi recently said that Conte's Italy reminds him of a Barca / Atletico hybrid and you can see what he means, after today and the Belgium game. Exciting times next season if you're a Chelsea fan, one would think.

And can you imagine how good we'd actually be if we had a Pirlo, Del Piero or a Baggio in their prime. The team spirit is extraordinary, which makes up for having not one world class player in the midfield or attack (for the first time in my lifetime (ever?)).

Must admit getting nervous now

[Waxy]

Beginning to hear the horror in the commentators voice.

Lucky break is bound to happen before the end of the 90 mins!

They usually do get something!!

[Pretty Boy]

Iceland definitely tiring.

[cabbageandribs1875]

c'mon iceland, stay cool

[Michael]

Some wee signs some of Iceland s players may be tiring

We could be playing for another hour and I still don't think England would score again.

Tbh seeing them equalise and then lose on penalties again would be better than them ****ing it up in 90.

[renato]

He won't have Zoff's legendary status until Hibs have put 5 past him at ER.

Indeed :greengrin

One of the best keepers ever and my dad said he was simply blown away that night, we were completely rampant and would've beaten most teams in the world that night.

[cabbageandribs1875]

just kicking the ball up the field and bringing pressure back on themselves :(

[Aldo]

Engurland players under performing yet nothing about how the Icelandic players are doing!

[(((Fergus)))]

Come on Iceland. Don't want to tempt fate but England look like they could play all night and not score.

A wee equaliser and then out on penalties could be fun

[Pretty Boy]

I thought Iceland were maybe tired but I think part of it may be nerves. A lot of silly mistakes when in good positions that look like players getting a wee bit tense and over excited.

[Dan Sarf]

How many times has the commentator said WILSHIRE! Followed by nothing happening

[Aldo]

It probably would but I'd rather see the job done in the 90 and then let the FALLOUT begin!!

Iceland upped a gear in last five minutes or so Interesting last 13 minutes or so coming up

[Pretty Boy]

The Iceland fans seem quite cool.

[(((Fergus)))]

If it stays like this, Clive, the rest of Europe WILL be remembering this for a VERY long time.

[Aldo]

Still think Iceland need to step up a bit but maybe sitting as not to get caught in behind with Vardy's pace!

Nervy 12 minutes.

Stupid foul!

[One Day Soon]

I could see Iceland nicking another for 3-1 as England get more desperate.

[Joe6-2]

Oh yes!

[The Spaceman]

"I'm sure the rest of Europe will not remember this game for a very long time..."

Wrong. This will be remembered as the time you got knocked out the Euros by ICELAND.

[cabbageandribs1875]

pet hate number 6...strikers giving away stupid fouls to take the pressure right of the defending team...sigh

[gogsy23]

You put your left leg in.....

[Mr White]

I could see Iceland nicking another for 3-1 as England get more desperate.

:agree: They hit austria on the break late on in their last game. I could see it happening again here. I think I'd hurt myself with laughter if so :greengrin

[Jim44]

England will still fancy themselves till about four minutes to go.

[Ronniekirk]

Commentator just mutters players underachieving

This commentator sounds like he's about to top himself live on air.

[Aldo]

Pressure oan last 8 min Iceland hold on please!!

[Pretty Boy]

The growing desperation in both commentators voices is joyous.

Good save Hart, that could have been that.

[Aldo]

Aaaaarrrggghhh

[Mr White]

That was nearly it!

[cabbageandribs1875]

boy could have finished it :(

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

NOOOO! got Island by a goal!

[Gatecrasher]

Why are they playing Rooney in this deep playmaker type role like he's Pirlo? he's no where near good enough for that.

[hibsbollah]

I think the opposite. this reminds me of when they spawned it against Cameroon in the quarters in Italia 90.

[SkintHibby]

Every time a tourney starts I tell myself to grow up and stop wanting our southern friends to get pumped.

Within a few minutes of their first game I want them pumped.:greengrin

[Aldo]

Defo not got hair for that anyway!

[One Day Soon]

TBF this is not the first or only team Iceland have done this to.

[pacoluna]

It's only Iceland remember...

The same Iceland that took 6 points off Holland in the qualifiers, beat Austria and took points from Hungary and Portugal in group stage.

Can't stand this patronising guff from Clive tyldesly.

[SkintHibby]

I think the opposite. this reminds me of when they spawned it against Cameroon in the quarters in Italia 90.

Yes, me.too!

[HiBremian]

Just turned on the telly after a busy day. Are we witnessing England finding their new place in Europe?

Yep...... total desperation in his voice

Minutes??? not even seconds and it's the commentators that make me wish them defeated with their arrogance!

[blackpoolhibs]

He thinks he's the next Joe Keanan.

[Mr White]

Totally. Holland home and away, austria and a draw against portugual to name a few. They're a well drilled effective side.

[SteveHFC]

The post match interview's and analysis will be interesting if it stays the same.

[Aldo]

Will they get a 'get out of jail' card??

[Pretty Boy]

Hodgson deserves the sack just for leaving Kane on the dead balls this long. WTF was that?

[Aldo]

Quality set piece yet again from Arry!! Tee hee

[hibee_girl]

Kane's free kicks are magnificent :greengrin

Tyldesly is the very worst.

[cabbageandribs1875]

oooooooooooohh lots of booing from the engelundy fans eh.....greatest fans in the world...when they're winning

[Ergye]

This is the best thing that has ever happened. Ever.

Iceland are also my only sweep team left too.

Cheesing. :greengrin

[Aldo]

Apparently the best dead ball player in team!!

[Scottie]

What time does the fighting and scrapping start :rolleyes:

[J-C]

Kane should have been off 20 minutes ago and the same with Ali, both been poor.

[Aldo]

Very disrespectful towards Iceland yet again from commentator!

[cabbageandribs1875]

stain on the reputation of england players...omfg

[Waxy]

Commentators given up.
